This summer, we donated tickets to St. Louis Cardinals games against the Pittsburgh Pirates, Cincinnati Reds, Atlanta Braves, Kansas City Royals, Washington Nationals, and Texas Rangers Baseball Club to local veterans to express our gratitude.

A few weeks ago, the Federal Recycling & Waste Solutions corporate office and STL plant, along with team members from Federal International, enjoyed a fun afternoon of team bonding at the Cardinals game. I always enjoy opportunities to connect outside of the office, especially during a Cardinals win!

While there, we discussed growth strategies, company updates, networked, and celebrated our efforts and achievements with a few rounds of pickleball at Chicken N Pickle.
